Calcium Metabolism in Rats Fed Diets Containing Various Concentrations of Magnesium

Iron, copper and zinc status in rats fed on diets containing various concentrations of tin.

The effects of various dietary concentrations of Sn (1, 10, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg; added as SnCl2) on Fe, Cu and Zn status of rats were determined. After feeding the diets for 28 d body weight was not significantly affected, but there was a linear inverse response of feed intake. Plasma, kidney, spleen and tibia Fe concentrations as well as blood haemoglobin concentration and percentage transfe...

Zinc, iron, copper, and magnesium concentrations in tissues of rats fed various amounts of zinc.

An experiment was conducted with rats to determine the effects on the tissue concentrations of Zn, Fe, Cu, and Mg of feeding various amounts of zinc. The rats were pair-fed one of the following diets for four weeks: Diet A, a zinc-deficient diet; a diet containing the recommended amoun of zinc (diet A plus 55 microgram of zinc per gram of diet), or diet A plus 550 microgram zinc per gram of die...

P Ratio Dental Caries in Albino Rats Fed Diets Containing Different Amounts of Calcium

Pathogenesis of postprandial hyperlipemia in rats fed ethanol-containing diets.

To study the mechanism of the increase in serum lipoproteins which occurs in rats fed alcohol chronically, and especially to assess the role of the intestine, the effects of acute and chronic ethanol administration on lymph and plasma lipids were compared in rats with and without intestinal lymph fistulae. In rats not previously given alcohol, the administration of one dose of a diet containing...

Lipid metabolism in rats fed diets containing different types of lipids.

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of different types of lipid diets on the lipid metabolism of aging rats. METHODS Fifty male Wistar rats were studied from the time of weaning to 12 and 18 months of age. Their diets were supplemented as follows: with soybean oil (S), canola oil (CA), lard and egg yolk (LE), and canola oil + lard and egg yolk (CA + LE). Blood pressure (BP) was measured every mont...
